In his directorial debut, John Krasinski was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2009 for his adaptation of David Foster Wallace's series of "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men." Krasinski stitches the stories together by introducing graduate student Sara Quinn (Julianne Nicholson), who after getting dumped by her boyfriend, decides to interview a series of men about their reasons for behaving badly. What follows is an intimate portrait of the male species at his best, worst, and most hilariously complex, confessing his desires, failures, frustrations, and resentments. Interviewees include Timothy Hutton, Will Arnett, Bobby Cannavale, Will Forte, Christopher Meloni, Chris Messina, Dominic Cooper, and Krasinski himself.
